John Conner (Christian Bale) hunting down the terminator

$0 While machines managed to conquer in TerminatorSalvation , they failed to do the samewith the beginning of the summer movie season. Granted, Salvation is an action-packed movie with good acting, but it iscertainty not as record setting or even entertaining as its previous films. $0$0 John Conner (Christian Bale) is the leader of theResistance, an army composed of the surviving humans from the nuclear attacksof Judgment Day due to machinesturning on the humans. Conner is informed that he must find Kyle Resse (AntonYelchin) and send him back to the past. However, a mysterious man named Marcus(Sam Worthington) is also looking for Resse and has a vital connection to bothConner and Resse that affects their past, present, and future. $0$0 Salvation surprised viewers with a cast of talented actors and a surprisinglywell-written script. Bale delivers the same level of acting talent that waspreviously seen in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight . Worthington isthe dark horse of this film, as he brings a level of emotion and acting thatthe former terminator did not have. $0$0 People have wondered if Salvation would be able to meet the success that the perviousfilms in the Terminator seriesenjoyed without the former star and now Governor Arnold Swartznegger. WhileGovernor Swartznegger does make an appearance in the film, viewers will have towait and look closely. $0$0 “Salvation” was not able to obtain the success ofprevious “Terminator” films. The film opened to three million dollars on itsopening night, it was second pace in its opening weekend for the first time inthe series’ history. Nevertheless, those who are looking for their “salvation”full of action, drama, and a huge twist will find it in this film.  $0 ]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:29:06 GMT
